Re: ANNOUNCE: GHC version 7.8.4

try rm ~/.cabal/bin/haddock and then type which haddock and you should be getting the /usr/local/bin/haddock or whatever, then stuff should work fine On Wed, Dec 24, 2014 at 11:40 AM, Alfredo Di Napoli < alfredo.dinapoli@gmail.com> wrote:

The installation succeedeed and GHC is working correctly. But yes, "cabal haddock" seems to have some difficulty in the new version, but I can't judge if it's my sandboxed environment (we use "hub" at work) or the failure you mentioned.

Calling "haddock" alone works (using the previously installed on my system), "cabal haddock" does not:

sure, please verify first. (also make sure haddock etc works for you, i had to remove a haddock binary from ~/.cabal/bin before haddocks were building correctly for me) On Wed, Dec 24, 2014 at 10:52 AM, Alfredo Di Napoli < alfredo.dinapoli@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks Carter!

I have just asked basically about it on Reddit, in the announce thread. I'll give it a spin, and if it works I will share the link (if you are ok with that!) on the same Reddit post.

============================================================== The (Interactive) Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 7.8.4 ==============================================================

The GHC Team is pleased to announce a new patchlevel release of GHC, 7.8.4.

This is an important bugfix release relative to 7.8.3 (with over 30 defects fixed), so we highly recommend upgrading from the previous 7.8 releases.

The full release notes are here:

https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.8.4/docs/html/users_guide/release-7-8-4...

How to get it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The easy way is to go to the web page, which should be self-explanatory:

https://www.haskell.org/ghc/

We supply binary builds in the native package format for many platforms, and the source distribution is available from the same place.

Packages will appear as they are built - if the package for your system isn't available yet, please try again later.

Background ~~~~~~~~~~

Haskell is a standard lazy functional programming language.

GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell. Included is an optimising compiler generating good code for a variety of platforms, together with an interactive system for convenient, quick development. The distribution includes space and time profiling facilities, a large collection of libraries, and support for various language extensions, including concurrency, exceptions, and foreign language interfaces (C, whatever). GHC is distributed under a BSD-style open source license.

A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries, specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references, contact information, links to research groups) are available from the Haskell home page (see below).

On-line GHC-related resources ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Relevant URLs on the World-Wide Web:

GHC home page http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ GHC developers' home page http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ Haskell home page http://www.haskell.org/

Supported Platforms ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The list of platforms we support, and the people responsible for them, is here:

Ports to other platforms are possible with varying degrees of difficulty. The Building Guide describes how
